From Dave Weigel:
Senate Hearing on Gun Laws Postponed Due to Navy Yard Shooting
By David Weigel
|
Tomorrow at 10, the Senate Judiciary Committee was supposed to hold a hearing on "Stand Your Ground" laws featuring testimony from Trayvon Martin's mother, John "More Guns Less Crime" Lott, and a trio of congressman that, for maximum cable TV potential, included Rep. Louie Gohmert. But shortly after 6 p.m., on a day when the Senate was on a security lock-down due to the Navy Yard shooting, Sen. Dick Durbin's office (and the office of would-be panelist Rep. Luis Gutierrez) announced that the hearing would be rescheduled.
That's right. The hearing inspired by one shooting has been bumped because of another shooting.
What does this, or any other shooting, have to do with gun laws?
Clearly nothing. I dont really know much about the shooting today - havent read about it.
But I'm absolutely sure it has nothing to do with guns, gun laws, or gun availability. If anything it has to do with the fact that not enough guns were available.
And that goes for the next shooting too. I mean, you cant stop shooting with a law! Thats like saying you can stop bank robberies with laws! Silly!

When you can stop all crimes with laws, get back to us.
We will be waiting with bells on.....
I wonder how the cops stopped this guy from killing more than 12 innocents...
Yes. I fully agree. Laws just make people criminals.
